Wleń Castle, Gothic castle ruins in Łupki, Poland

The stone walls and towers of Wleń Castle stand on a hill overlooking the Bóbr River valley in Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

The castle's construction began in 1108 under Polish ruler Bolesław III Wrymouth as a defensive structure against incursions from Bohemia.

The Romanesque chapel within the castle grounds represents medieval religious architecture and construction techniques of 12th-century Poland.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from the town of Wleń, located 2 kilometers from the site.

Scientific studies of lime mortars from the castle chapel walls provided data about construction methods through radiocarbon dating analysis.
